Yep, first thing to do is get all the dust out from around the compressor and the coils.

Then, if it seems like the compressor is coming on but then shutting down, put a fan onto it, blowing on the compressor and see if it starts cycling. If it does then your compressor cooling fan is probably screwing up somehow.

Another thing to check is to make sure the door is sealing shut when it closes. Dirty or damaged rubber can stop it from closing and the effect is that it seems to not be cooling.

If I remember anything else I will add it later.

Good luck.
